Whom did you compare with the animal?
A video is going viral on social media. This is after the end of the third day of Edgbaston Test match. This video has been uploaded by the Indian cricket team on its Instagram page. In this, Mohammad Siraj is seen calling Akash Deep a horse. Akash Deep supported Siraj in this Test match and took 4 wickets in England’s first innings.
In the video, Mohammad Siraj said that Akash Deep was waiting for this opportunity. He is hungry to take wickets inside him. It was fun by bowling with him. Siraj said that during the match, if I and Akashdeep took 5-5 wickets, I would have given this ball to Akashdeep, because for the first time in the Test match, taking five wickets is very special. During this, Siraj said a lot about the sixth wicket.
Did not want to take sixth wicket
Team India fast bowler Mohammad Siraj told that I did not want to take the sixth wicket. When I dismissed Josh Tong on the first ball of my 20th over, I talked to Akashdeep whether I should put out the next five balls, which will give you a chance to take the fifth wicket in the next over, but Akashdeep refused.
Akashdeep said that you bow down well and take a wicket. On the third ball of the same over, Siraj dismissed Shoaib Bashir and threw England’s first innings for 407 runs. Siraj took 6 wickets for 70 runs in 19.3 overs. From the other end, he got a lot of support of Akashdeep.
What did Akash Deep say?
Team India fast bowler Akash Deep praised Mohammad Siraj, who took four wickets in England’s first innings. He said that Siraj had a huge contribution in the first two wickets that I took, because he kept pressure from the other end, due to which I was able to take the wicket. He said that taking five wickets is not as important as the England team was to cover quickly. I am happy with my performance. Akash Deep took 4 wickets for 88 runs in 20 overs in England’s first innings.
